So you had better give Boris a call, and find out what he is planning.
I could not agree more. Except that he won't tell you!

He is a superb politician and watching/listening to him being interviewed (on any subject) is a lesson on how to say what you want and avoid answering any question. The man is VERY intelligent, VERY quick witted and wants to be Prime Minister.

Of itself, that is not a problem and we need PMs who are intelligent but Johnson is as good at not answering questions as Blair. That is not good.

As far as I know, Johnson has never said on the record about how LHR would be closed, who would pay for it and how all the companies and people put out of of business will pay to relocate etcetera etcetera. He sweeps those questions away as meere detail and stays with the big idea. He does not even let his staff answer the detailed questions.

If he answered any of these questions in a serious manner, it might be possible to evaluate the island - but he doesn't so it isn't.
